So there you have it.
Jim Rob and company
It should be noted that on EVERY article on every page at the Las Vegas Review Journal, they have links at the bottom to share the story on Facebook, Twitter, etc.
For example, scroll to the very bottom of the page here:
http://www.lvrj.com/business/nevada-s-jobless-rate-reaches-record-14-2-percent-98737824.html
In other words, their website encourages article sharing. This sounds like entrapment. “here, share this article with your friends.. now... gotcha, we are going to sue you..”
Good catch!
Do a screencap quick. Seems like that would be implied consent, doesn’t it?
Bookmark
BUMP!
I counted 19 different social networking links on the bottom of that LV RJ article webpage.
Good pick up. The dirtbag liberals.
When you click a facebook button it posts a link to the story, not the whole thing.
So there you have it.
That only shares a brief title and the link to their site.

You should snapshot te page. It isn’t entrapment, but it surely weakens their case.
Why did they think a lawsuit was necessary when they could have simply asked?
I'll sue you!!

That's not sharing the entire article though. It's impossible to do that through their sharing link that they provide for Facebook. If you try it, you'll see that nothing more than about maybe 50 words or so come through on the sharing. Sometimes, in a long paragraph, you don't even get just the "one" paragraph.
So, this is not what they are talking about. It would appear to me that they are talking about sharing the entire article, and a lot of newspapers (on our excerpt list here) don't want that done.
Facebook automatically clips everything you send in through that method (i.e., a "Facebook button" on the webpage of the news agency) so that's why they don't care about that.
